Less understandable now than it was some time ago.
In the late 90s when I moved to the US, it was hard to be a Flames fan and my engagement with hockey significantly waned because it just wasn't there to watch. In effect I missed the Young Guns era not because I cashed out, but because I couldn't watch a game even if I wanted to...
